Persons With Co-Occurring Mental And Substance Abuse Disorders

Individuals with co-occurring mental and drug abuse issues are what are recognized in the field of alcohol and drug rehab as dual diagnosis clients. These clients must handle both disorders while in rehab in order to find resolution simply because one usually exacerbates the other. Luckily, there are many drug and alcohol rehab facilities that can specifically address the problems that persons with co-occurring mental and drug use disorders face to enable them to not just become sober but mentally secure and also able to lead a much better quality lifestyle and not want to self medicate with alcohol and drugs.

ASL or Other Assistance for Hearing Impaired

The hearing impaired are often prone to alcoholism and drug and alcohol use due to the problems that their impairment impose on them. While discovery of the problem can be hard among the hearing impaired, there are ASL and other assistance services intended for them when drug abuse rehab is necessary. Apart from ASL, such services can sometimes include assistive listening equipment and captioned video materials to ensure that deaf and hearing impaired individuals are getting the help they require in drug rehab.

Spanish

Not all drug and alcohol rehabilitation centers have the staff or resources to focus on the requirements of Spanish speaking clientele, but thankfully there are more and more programs that will do so because the necessity for Spanish services is higher than in the past. Counselling, study information and so on are now frequently available in Spanish in both short and long terms programs which deliver inpatient or residential treatment and outpatient Spanish rehab is also available around the country.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can select whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people face. In addition, treatment facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid if the individual is not able to self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehab facility that will produce better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol treatment programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in setting up the person's rehab strategy. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being similar to any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation centers. Individuals may have to participate in a drug and alcohol treatment facility which is inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations like just how long their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will handle it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations regarding just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehab is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you start treatment so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation facility of preference.
